I compare these tracks that some of you are disagreeing about, and I can only hear the most minimal differences in what is overall a horrible sound. You may as well be comparing the differences in flavours of vomit. I realise, of course, that this is subjective... same here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Labtekwon has to be one of the most underrated rappers, and unusually his latter day joints are better than his early stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally have no idea who you are talking about but there's only one Levi as far as I'm concerned and he's the one who posts 20,000 words on a topic when 15 will do 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok 1)Tran Hung Dao - he was about the only general to defeat the Mongolians .. and he did it 3 times 2) Napoleon - yeah pains me to say it but having watched the BBC documentary on him a few months back he has to be in the list 3) Oliver Cromwell - mainly because he accomplished so much for someone with no formal military training ..close-order cavalry formations with discipline and quick reactions in battle I was thinking of Saladin as well , I went to his tomb once in Damascus and I swear even standing by you kinda get a sense of awe about the person , he accomplished loads on the battle field and also didn't butcher everyone in sight in an era when it was kinda the done thing alas that still that overlooks the obvious in Alexander the Great , Caesar (the roman not the talking Ape) plus a few other Romans for that matter and the Mongols as well of course 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be fooled by Blackadder's portrayal of him WW1 was a huge shift in the way war was fought (tanks , new tactics etc) so I think he cops a lot of criticism unfairly , He may not be a great General but he wasn't the worst one to ever take command either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have more of a problem with him seeming to not understand that underground reinforced concrete withstands explosive bombardment and walking in lines across mud after blowing a whistle to let the enemy know you're coming when they're armed with Maxim machine guns is incredibly stupid.

If you take something like the Somme , British causalities were on a par with the losses which German, Austrian, Russian and French troops all suffered .. he made mistakes for sure , he kept changing Rawlinson's plan for example but as I say I think it was that war changed as much as anything ... I seem to recall that something like 30% of British shells failed to explode during the aerial bombardment on the German defences ..he probably couldn't have foreseen that either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
